Help with gas tank latch
Hey guys! I need help with my 1999 Jag XK8. The gas tank latch was broken when I bought it and was attached with duct tape. So, one day I decided the duct tape had to go. Turns out the back edge of the latch that slides into the door of the gas do-hickey is broken. Does anyone know what that black piece of metal is that holds the door closed. The release works fine, I just can't get the latch back on and would rather replace it than go back to the duct tape solution. Any ideas????

What a coincidence...
Just last night my filler door failed to close, and today I see this thread.
Is that t-shaped cutout on the lower left the place where the part is missing? Does it just push into the filler door? I looked at the picture of HJA3097AD and it doesn't look like what I seem to be missing.
There is a mark on the outside of the door that looks as if someone might have pried the door open in the past, but it has always worked since I bought it, and I never looked at the inside of the door to know how it looked before it failed last night.

Google comes up with this:
Part "1" has grooves on the left side that fits into the T cutout on the lid.

Here's where I just got the part. Came in three days USPS amidst the holiday traffic. Best price; great service.
